Pros React To Charles Oliveira Finishing Kevin Lee At UFC Brasilia

The highly anticipated main event actually served as a catchweight bout, this after Lee had failed to make the 156lbs weight limit on Friday.

Kevin Lee (18-5 MMA) entered UFC Brasilia looking to build on the momentum of his first round knockout victory over Gregor Gillespie at UFC 244. That win had snapped a two-fight losing skid for “The MoTown Phenom”, who had previously suffered losses to Al Iaquinta and Rafael dos Anjos.

Tonight’s UFC Brasilia main event proved to be a wildly entertaining affair. Oliveira showcased his ever-improving standup before eventually finishing “The MoTown Phenom” with a guillotine choke submission.

I would not want to fight nor prepare to fight Charles Oliveira. Now tied for the most finishes (16) in UFC history. He has never fought for an undisputed title but he’s certainly creeping on that modern-era wing of the Hall of Fame. Parabéns!
